Getting ready for my trip, doing laundry, picking luggage, and figuring out what I need. I haven't gone anywhere fun in 19+ years and haven't left New England since 2008.

Random question, would anyone in the BlueSky-verse be interested in a giveaway of a signed paperback copy of Straw Girl (and a potential second place prize of a couple bookmarks or something)?

Enough like/share/repost and I'll do one.

Post-op follow up appointments probably used to have a purpose, but my six week follow up happening 9+ weeks later, and it's just "hey how's it going" and no exam is a waste of my time. Aka, it could have been an email.

The nickel and diming has to stop. It just cost them a sale.

I was really excited to get some sushi for lunch tomorrow from the place right down the road from the office. But a "carryout fee" that's almost 25% of my order? No thank you.

Husband wanted to do stand-up on our wedding anniversary. Of course. Perfect time to roast him. 😈

EVER AFTER x A THOUSAND HEARTBEATS

With no fairy godmother in sight, Elsebeth must choose between her crown and her people or the peasant she loves, and Ascher doesn't know if a life of drudgery is worth it for a woman who could never truly be his.

I have library events on 10/21 and 10/22, and really, really wanted a couple of the images featured in my book printed to bring with me. My husband's (good) printer didn't work, so, after some finagling in paint, I got them to the right size and sent them to WalGreens to print. 🤞

I'm going to be out of the country at the end of the month. Mr. Barry doesn't have the apps for the robot vac or the lights in two rooms of the house.

If anyone's Nonna experienced chills or a sense of overwhelming dread, that's my husband's fault for making marinara in the microwave.

It astounds me how little comprehension there is of the separation of powers.

The executive, legislative, and judicial branches balance each other. Judicial can stop the legislative or executive, and the legislative doesn't need permission from the executive.

If anyone else is on BookBub, can you ask them to add a BlueSky share button? I've gotten some fabulous reviews that I'd love to share here but can't.
